OP Deadlight – WARNORD

Scheduled for Sunday the 6th of March 2016

Description:

1. SITUATION

Situation Time: 17:30 hrs

Lighting: Last light at 19:30 hrs

Weather: Unlimited Visibility, Partly Cloudy

After a successful 2-week campaign on Bystrica, Zulu-Alpha returns to Altis for some well deserved R&R. What could be more relaxing than motorized patrols on a recently liberated island paradise.

There have been been several months of peace on Altis after an attempted coup by FIA rebels wishing to make the island an independent state. This after severe political tensions in Greece due to the current refugee crisis in the EU.
We have received some unconfirmed civilian reports of small groups of FIA forces in the North-East of Altis. We have maintained and intensified patrols to try to confirm these reports but as of yet we have found nothing.

Dragon 2, 8-men strong, was dispatched to patrol the main road to the town of Oreokastro at 12h00 today.

Dragon Actual received last communication with Dragon 2 at 14h00, and they have since missed two check-in windows.

For now we are under the assumption that the heavy mountainous terrain is interfering with radio communications, and that Dragon 2 has undertaken some unsanctioned leisure time in the famous tavern in Oreokastro as they did on last week’s patrol.

Dragon 1 is to follow the original patrol route and recover Dragon 2 for debrief and PT.

We have a UH-60M on standby should the need arise, however HQ has requested we save fuel where possible due to budget cuts.

 

A. Enemy Forces: The defeated FIA forces were made up of light infantry, motorized infantry and entry level Soviet era military hardware. Most of their equipment was captured or destroyed. Should you encounter any hostiles expect guerrilla tactics and the use of IEDs along patrol routes.

B. Friendly Forces: Friendly NATO forces occupy all major military installations on the island of Altis. Expect to encounter friendly NATO patrols across the island.  ZA is stationed in a small military compound in Syrta and maintains operational security for all territories NW of Syrta.

1) Equipment: Standard equipment is available at the Syrta FOB .

2) Surveillance: Several micro UAVs

3) Ground Vehicles: 3x RG-31 MRAP’s as well as Ammo, Fuel and Repair HMMET located at the FOB in Syrta.

4) Fixed Wing: None.

5) Rotary Wing: 1x UH-60M

6) Naval: None.

Other friendly forces: None.

 

C. Civilian Presence: Civilians occupy all towns and should remain neutral. Civilian casualties must be avoided at all costs especially considering the current political situation.
